Just another leftist judging everybody else

If is so annoying when "enlightened" people use stereotypes and sweeping generalizations to describe the little people.

Take a look at this video and then argue that she was wrong.
You people are all just pissed off that someone has the balls to speak their mind. If they happen to have a non american accent then they are america haters. She is a US citizen. DEAL WITH IT.

True, but, if an American said this about Brits, they would be up in arms, and you know it.

I don't entirely agree with her, but I don't mind her opinion, even if she looks ignorant for generalizing against over 300 million people. Imagine an American going to London, having an interview and stating on live TV that British people are ill informed. I don't think it would go down so well :)

Also, to the member above me, twenty people out of over 300 million are prime examples of how all Americans are???? This interviewer seemed to ask people with Southern accents, not to generalise, but I would guess he went to a specific location to get the results he wanted. If I went to Austrailia or the U.K and interviewed twenty people, would that be a reasonable amount to make it OK to generalize about an entire country? No.

And here, sports fans, is the epitome of hypocrisy. This psycho does nothing but judge people for being "leftist". Typical right wing nut.

This will be the high point of my day; it's all downhill from here.

She's right though. Americans are generally stupid, obese, shallow egocentric people.

Americans are uninformed, where is the lie in that statement?

Evidence tells us that Americans are uninformed. You want some factual numbers? http://www.alternet.org/story/90161/ignorant_america%3A_just_how_stupi d_are_we

One in five Americans can't find their own country on a map of the world-- a world, incidentally, that 15% of 'em don't understand orbits the Sun. Those numbers really should be zero. Oh, but depending on which study you go by, 50% to 80% do believe in helpful, invisible, selectively intangible entities who intervene in life's affairs in deliberative way (angels).

So, tell us again how America isn't churning out millions of appallingly stupid people and letting them vote willy-nilly. It isn't all of 'em, granted, but it doesn't say much for American brilliance that the people who do know anything can't seem to educate the rest. You don't even seem to have the collective sense to be thoroughly embarrassed over your most shamefully dumb citizens-- you make excuses for them or you pander to their ignorance by hissing "elitist" at those who value and espouse knowledge. That's the really damning bit of stupidity-- American society treats ignorance as 'just another (legitimate!) point of view.'


I'm an island- peopled by bards, scientists, judges, soldiers, artists, scholars, & warrior-poets.

Sweet irony...
